Unlike the previous game, you can replay some requests for farming/grinding purposes. You can complete requests inside Jails and the real world these offer rewards like BOND points, new weapons, or money. Requests are different in Persona 5 Strikers.Food in this game not only restores HP and SP (health and mana, respectively), but also increases your BOND meter with your team. Instead of just coffee and curry, Joker can cook a variety of meals from your camper van as long as you have the recipe for a specific dish and the ingredients. If not, someone from the team will be left behind. You need to switch party members so that they gain EXP during infiltrations and level up appropriately.Stuff you did in those old games won’t carry over. You can spend time with your fellow Phantom Thieves through optional social events, but they won’t be as impactful as Persona 5/Persona 5 Royal. Are There Social Links In Persona 5 Strikers? Naturally, our heroes win, defeats Yaldabaoth with a giant magic gun, and destroys the Metaverse. His plan is to “release” humanity from its free will. However, people are still clinging to him this is due to an underlying threat called Yaldabaoth, the God of Control. Better Social Links with these Confidants (be it from a successful meet-up or date) means better Personas to fight evils & Shadows in the Metaverse with.Īfter taking down the last major target, corrupt politician Masayoshi Shido (ie the guy who caused Joker to be in this predicament in the first place), he has his heart changed just after he wins the parliamentary elections. All these things will improve your Social Links with special folks called Confidants. You can make friends, participate in after-school curriculum, eat giant burgers to boost your courage, and hook up with older women and possibly break social taboos. While you’re doing all this, you also have to serve a full year of school in Shibuya, Tokyo. Defeating the ruler’s shadow deep in their Palace will change their hearts. These Mind Palaces form when its ruler’s bad thoughts become highly distorted. To do this, they need to infiltrate the target’s literal Mind Palace in the Metaverse, a realm that exists outside the normal world. In Persona 5, the Phantom Thieves (led by Joker/Ren Amamiya/) are tasked to take down a series of public figures. But I Don’t Want To Spend 100 Hours To Play Persona 5 And I Wanna Know The Gist Of The Plot We understand that not many of us can spare an extra 100 hours to replay a bonus round Persona game. At the very least, you don’t need to play Persona 5 Royal if you’ve played Persona 5 already to enjoy Persona 5 Strikers’ story & character development further. PC and Nintendo Switch players get squat, unfortunately. Still, we do recommend you play Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal on PS4 (or PS5 since it’s backwards compatible with next-gen consoles). Thankfully, the story in Persona 5 Strikers does not outright rely on the previous games. While the game does a good job in making Persona 5 Strikers self-contained with just references to the past game as just that, it does help that you are up-to-date with Persona 5/Persona 5 Royal. Not really, though I would recommend you do so to feel a bigger attachment to the Phantom Thieves. Do I Need To Play Persona 5 To Enjoy Persona 5 Strikers? If you stun them all, you can pull off an All-Out Attack for big damage. You can use skills to exploit weaknesses hitting Shadows with elemental weaknesses stuns them. When you pick a skill, you freeze time: this is where the tactical maneuverability bits come in. Your heroes can wield Persona attacks, with Joker being able to use multiple Personas at once. Players in the game infiltrate Jails, beat up Shadows, sneak up on them for advantage-laden battles. Like we said: if you’ve played Dynasty Warriors and similar hack-and-slash titles with minimal RPG elements like leveling up and upgrades, you’ll get into Persona 5 Strikers quick and easy like a lax teacher moonlighting as a fetish maid. You still play as Joker and control the Phantom Thieves in this sequel. This spin-off is the sequel to Persona 5/Persona 5 Royal, so it takes place a few years after those storylines. Where Is Persona 5 Strikers In The Timeline? This feature is just to give you a heads up if this game is right for you. Unlike most Warriors entries, there is a level of thought and care put into the package. If we’re being honest, it’s just a slightly-complicated 3D beat-em-up featuring anime characters. If you’ve played the Dynasty Warriors or Hyrule Warriors series, you’ll get into Persona 5 Strikers just fine. What kind of game is it? Instead of being a turn-based RPG, it’s an action RPG game with tactical elements. This title is both a spin-off and sequel to 2018’s wunderkind JRPG Persona 5. RPG fans and Shin Megami Tensei: Persona spin-off enthusiasts this week marks the English release of Persona 5 Strikers.
